  • God, this is what I love about Lemmy: Someome posts a chart and immediately the question for raw data arises. And the order: First .ods, the free spreasheet format, then .csv with the mindset of “Fine, I’ll import the raw csv myself”, and as anlast resort the hated .xlsx proprietary format. Never change, and use .od_


  • I just love what has become of this thread:

    • Think it’s a nice post
    • Look for Google/Kagi, but they’re missing
    • People ask for sources, realize OP has chart from VERY dodgy conspiracy website
    • People start accusing Kagi Support of lying to their face, Screenshota of convo attached
    • Other users don’t think its a lie, rather a misunderstanding
    • Insults start
    • ?






  • For further explanation of any point, please hit me up :)

    • It is Chromium based
    • It has used dubious methods in the past (replacing links with affiliate links, the whole ad/crypto thing, …)
    • Brave’s business model relies on ads (I think)
    • [This is a weak point, but at least in the privacy community, Brave isn’t super popular. It feels more geared towards the “hyped crypto early adopters”. [1] It might be “fine” for someone switching from Chrome (which is always a good thing) but going all the way would be a modded Firefox.]

    TL;DR For most provacy concious Brave users, Brave is a step in their journey towards more privacy, and not the final destination.

    [1] The “dumb AF tech youtubers” you mentioned in another post are typically the Brave hype crowd. This is not meant to discredit Brave; it’s just that a share of their users are this way.
